Wisconsin Nursing Home Administrators (NHA) Practice Exam

What shall a resident's medication tray or drawer be labeled with?

1. The resident's name and expiration date

2. The resident's room number and lot or control number

3. The resident's name and room number

4. The resident's name and physician's name

The correct answer is: The resident's name and room number

A resident's medication tray or drawer should be labeled with the resident's name and room number. This is important to ensure that medications are accurately distributed to the correct resident in the facility. Labeling with the resident's name and room number helps prevent any confusion or errors in medication administration. Options A, B, and D are incorrect because they do not provide all the necessary information required for the accurate and safe administration of medications. While expiration date and physician's name are important details to be aware of, the resident's name and room number are essential for proper identification and distribution of medications within a nursing home setting.
